    Workbench:
      SecretKeyBase: aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
    Users:
      AutoAdminFirstUser: true
This application needs a secret token. Generate a new secret:
~$ ruby -e 'puts rand(2**400).to_s(36)'
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Then put that value in the @Workbench.SecretKeyBase@ field. You probably want to enable @Users.AutoAdminFirstUser@ . The first user to log in when no other admin user exists will automatically be made an admin. h2(#update-nginx). Update nginx configuration Use a text editor to create a new file @/etc/nginx/conf.d/arvados-workbench.conf@ with the following configuration. Options that need attention are marked in red.
